About this trial
This study uses a noninvasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study satiety in healthy individuals.
TMS is a noninvasive way of stimulating the brain, using a magnetic field to change activity in the brain. The magnetic field is produced by a coil that is held next to the scalp. In this study, the investigators will be stimulating the brain to learn more about the role of the cerebellum in satiety.
